Crouching youth at The V&A, London, UK

This bronze figure has a dark green patination. Winifred Turner was the daughter of the sculptor Alfred Turner (1874-1940). A major retrospective exhibition of their work was held at the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, in 1988, to which this piece was lent. Her sister Jessica donated Crouching Youth and a work by their father, Mother and Child, to the V&A. Jessica 'was content to assist her father', but Winifred attended the Royal Academy Schools in London between 1924 and 1929. She was elected Fellow and Associate of the Royal Society of British Sculptors in 1930; she exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1924 and 1962. This highly stylised figure reflects Turner's interest in ancient sculpture and also her passion for dance. The bronze has a green patina and smooth surface suggesting the sinuous forms of the young male body. Winifred Turner was primarily a modeller, unlike her father Alfred Turner, who also carved in stone.
